Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify yarn is unsized and colored via lab testing; sized yarns shift to 7019.12 subheading

• Provide manufacturer specs confirming E-glass composition and SiO2 content to avoid misclassification as mineral wool

• Include end-use declarations if for structural composites to prevent scrutiny under anti-dumping rules
